Economy

The district suffers from a weak economy and severe poverty due to lack of road linkage between villages and district centre, low level of agriculture and livestock productions, inaccessibility to healthcare services and security problems.[2] In 2014, construction work of irrigation projects began in five villages of the district by the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (MRRD).[3]

  • Main handicrafts: rug weaving.
  • Agricultural products: wheat, barley and potato.

Architecture

Near the village of Jam stands the Minaret of Jam, a historic building.
